PINK has hit back at claims she was cringing throughout Christina Aguilera’s American Music Award’s performance last night.

During the show Christina paid tribute to the late Whitney Houston by performing a number of songs from her 1992 movie The Bodyguard in honour of the film's 25th anniversary – and Pink, who famously feuded with her in the past, was pictured apparently frowning throughout.

But Pink, 34, has denied that was the case, saying she was in fact crying during Christina’s emotional tribute.

She tweeted: "Yes. THIS. Christina f***ing killed it tonight for one of our favorite singers ever. This about Whitney, and I am in awe of Christina's talent.

“Show the clip where I'm in tears, you negative Nancy's [sic]."

She also retweeted a post that read: “@Pink and @Xtina deaded their beef last year and have been FRIENDS since, respecting each other's amazing talent as grown women. stop creating something out of nothing @TheShadyFacts.”

Pink and Christina ended their 16-year feud, which kicked off when they fought over the lines on their track Lady Marmalade, last year.

Things were so bad between the pair that Christina once tried to punch Pink in a nightclub, but since both becoming mums they’ve put the bad feeling behind them for good.

During Christina’s moving performance, clips from the movie, which also starred Kevin Costner, were played out on the screen as Christina sang 'I Will Always Love You', followed by 'I Have Nothing', 'Run To You' and 'I'm Every Woman', earning a standing ovation from the audience at the end.

Meanwhile pink scaled a 34-floor hotel for her show-stopping rendition of Beautiful Trauma, the title track from her new album, during the awards.

Pink - who was backed by a team of dancers - didn't miss a note as she scaled the windows of the building while showing off some somersaults and other acrobatic moves.

Earlier in the evening, Pink kept her feet firmly on the ground as she and Kelly Clarkson opened the ceremony at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, with an emotional cover of R.E.M.'s 'Everybody Hurts'.

The performance, which was a tribute to the first responders who had worked at various natural disasters, shootings, and other tragedies over the last year, got a standing ovation from the audience.
